Chapter 1288


    ‘‘It bores me to stay here on my own. I might as well go to work." Jared pushed the door open and


    walked out ahead of Nicole.


    Nicole shot him a nce and followed suit.Now sitting in his car, Jared looked over at Nicole. "Are you


    coming back to stay the night?’


    "No, I''m noting back,” Nicole said, after which she stepped on her gas pedal and drove away.


    Jared then ignited his engine and drove to his office. On the way, he could not get Nicole out of his


    head and was in no mood to work, so he turned around and drove to the hospital.


    Once he had arrived at Maximillian''s ward, he pushed the door open and walked over. "Grandpa, why


    are you out of bed?”


    He had not visited his grandfather for just a while and to his surprise, his grandfather had already


    gotten out of bed.


    "Jared, you are here?" Mr. Johnston Sr. was standing by the window, admiring the view outside when


    he heard Jared''s voice and turned around.


    "Grandpa, did the doctor say that you can get out of bed and move around? '' Jared asked.


    "The doctor said I''m recovering fast, and can get out of bed slowly now." Maximillian looked at Jared


    with sincerity in his eyes, though he was lying.


    Jared nodded, believing him. "That''s good, but you should also get more rest and take it slowly."


    "Don''t worry. I know what I''m doing. Anyway, what brings you here today?" Maximillian asked, looking


    over at Jared.


    "It has been a few days since I''vest visited you. It just so happens that I''m not as busy today, so I


    dropped by to see you," Jared said, not telling him the real reason.


    "Come over and sit down." Maximillian gestured, signaling Jared to walk him to the couch and sit him


    down. "Jared, when the doctorester, you ask him if I can be discharged from the hospital.”


    As he said those words, the intention of getting out of the hospital was written all over his face.


    "Judging by how quickly you are recovering, you''ll probably be discharged from the hospital soon. I will


    ask the doctorter when hees by," Jared said.


    "By the way, have you gotten any information regarding Henry yet?" the old man asked.


    Maximillian was always thinking about Henry, and would ask Jared the same question during every


    visit.

    "My men found him abroad. They said that he seems to have joined forces with some foreignpany.


    Now, we have no way of bringing him back." Jared said, telling Maximillian everything he knew, as he


    knew that he would not be able to fool his grandfather.


    "Traitor! How dare he defect to foreigners? Find him, and I will break his legs!" Maximillian bellowed.


    ‘Grandpa, don''t worry about it." Jared said, not wanting his grandfather to worry about Henry when he


    was still sick. “I will take care of it."


    He would try his best to handle the issue for him.


    While the two were talking, the doctor, who had just walked in from the hallway, was stunned to see


    Maximillian sitting on the couch, talking to Jared.


    "Why are you out of bed?!" The doctor hurried over to Maximillian.


    Maximillian did not look too happy because he thought that the doctor had talked too much. ‘Could he


    note inter? I have only just gotten out of bed and have moved around for just a while.’


    ‘Hi, Mr. Johnston," the doctor greeted Jared.


    Jared then realized that his grandfather had secretly gotten out of bed on his own, and that the doctor


    had not allowed him to move around.


    "Mr. Chairman, you can''t get out of bed yet. Haven''t I exined that to you?


    Why are you getting out of bed again?" the doctor said with a tone of concern, after which he helped


    Maximillian back to bed with Jared.


    Jared eyed his grandfather with a look of helplessness, as it seemed that this was not the first time he


    had sneaked out of bed.
